Vista parcial noturna de Montreux. (Keystone)=20
Banhada pelo lago Leman e beneficiada cedo pela =
navega=E7=E3o, a ferrovia e pelos elogios de nomes famosos, Montreux =
desenvolveu o turismo, hoje sua principal fonte de renda.

O nome da cidade =E9 hoje conhecido no mundo inteiro.=20
=20
=20
=20
=20
=20

H=E1 quase duzentos anos j=E1 havia =93modestas pens=F5es=94 =
e um pouco mais tarde verdadeiros hot=E9is para acolher os visitantes, =
num momento em que o turismo ainda engatinhava.

Uma das primeiras personalidades a exaltar os charmes de =
Montreux foi Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778). Seu romance =93La =
Nouvelle Helo=EFse=94, sucesso europeu na =E9poca, situa-se em =
Montreux-Clarens.

Outros grandes escritores

Entre outros escritores que viveram na regi=E3o vale =
mencionar em particular o poeta Lord Byron (1788-1824) que escreveu =93O =
Prisioneiro de Chillon=94(nome do famoso castelo de Montreux), livro que =
conta o drama de um franc=EAs que ficou acorrentado a uma coluna do =
castelo de 1532 a 1536.

Vale mencionar tamb=E9m =96 al=E9m de Rilke, Hemingway e =
Tolstoi, entre outros =96 Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977), autor de =
=93Lolita=94, obra =93escandalosa=94 que o tornou conhecido =
internacionalmente. Nabokov instalou-se em 1966 no prestigioso hotel =
Montreux-Palace, onde continuou seu trabalho de escritor e de tradutor =
das pr=F3pria obras, com a ajuda do filho Dmitri.

Compositores e o "nosso" Santos Dumont

A lista de m=FAsicos e compositores =E9 tamb=E9m =
respeit=E1vel. Entre else, Tchaikovsky que de 1877 a 1879 esteve por 3 =
vezes em Montreux.

Stravinsky, que buscava clima mais ameno para cuidar da =
tuberculose de sua mulher, Catherine Nossenko tamb=E9m viveu na cidade. =
Ele chegou =E0 regi=E3o j=E1 em 1905 e permaneceu dez anos.

Alberto Santos Dumont, pioneiro da avia=E7=E3o, tamb=E9m =
parece ter sucumbido ao charme da regi=E3o. Nos =FAltimos anos de sua =
vida, atingido pela depress=E3o, ele passou uma temporada numa cl=EDnica =
de Glion, vilarejo que domina Montreux, mais conhecido atualmente pela =
sua Escola de Hotelaria.

Jazz Festival

Hoje =E9 um evento musical que leva Montreux aos 4 cantos do =
mundo: o Jazz Festival.

Mas a cidade continua atraindo n=E3o somente gente famosa e =
turistas, como tamb=E9m estudantes dos mais diferentes pa=EDses. Isso =
porque Montreux soube explorar o fil=E3o, oferecendo uma quantidade =
impressionante escolas particulares para todos os gostos. Os pais devem, =
por=E9m, ter uma gorda conta em banco para arcar com os custos, =
elevados.

The tourism is tradition in Montreux=20

swissinfo 24 of September of 2003 12:32 =20

Nocturnal partial sight of Montreux. (Keystone) =

Bathed for the Leman lake and benefited early for the =
navigation, the railroad and for the compliments of famous names, =
Montreux developed the tourism, today its main source of income.=20

The name of the city today is known in the =
entire world. =20
=20
=20
=20
=20
=20

It has almost two hundred years already had "modest =
pensions" and a little later true hotels to receive the visitors, at a =
moment where the tourism still engatinhava.=20

One of the first personalities to exaltar the charms =
of Montreux was Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778). Its romance "La =
Nouvelle Helo=EFse", European success at the time, are placed in =
Montreux-Clarens.=20

Other great writers=20

Among others writers that had lived in the region =
valley to mention in particular the poet Lord Byron (1788-1824) that it =
wrote "the Prisoner of Chillon"(nome of the famous castle of Montreux), =
book that counts the drama of a Frenchman who was chained to a column of =
the 1532 castle the 1536.=20

Valley to also mention - beyond Rilke, Hemingway and =
Tolstoi, among others - Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977), author of =
"Lolita", "scandalous" workmanship that it became it known =
internationally. Nabokov was installed in 1966 in the prestigious =
Montreux-Palace hotel, where it continued its work of writer and =
translator of proper the workmanships, with the aid of the Dmitri son.=20

Composers and "the our" Santos Dumont=20

the list of musicians and composers is also =
respectable. Between them, Tchaikovsky that of 1877 the 1879 was for 3 =
times in Montreux.=20

Stravinsky, that searched climate ameno to take care =
of of the tuberculosis of its woman, Catherine Nossenko also lived in =
the city. It arrived at the region already in 1905 and remained ten =
years.=20

Alberto Santos Dumont, pioneer of aviation, also seems =
to have lost to the charm of the region. In the last years of its life, =
reached for the depression, it it passed one season in a clinic of =
Glion, vilarejo that it dominates Montreux, more known currently for its =
School of Hotelaria.=20

Jazz Festival=20

Today is a musical event that takes Montreux to the 4 =
cantos of the world: the Jazz Festival.=20

But the city not only continues attracting famous =
people and tourist, as also students of the most different countries. =
This because Montreux knew to explore the fil=E3o, offering an =
impressive amount particular schools for all the gostos. The parents =
must, however, to have a fat account in bank to arcar with the costs, =
high.=20
